Ida Red
(Bob Willis & The Texas Playboys)
E
Lights in the parlor, fires in the grate,
B7 E
Clock on the mantle says its gettin late.
Curtains on the window, snowy white,
B7 E
The parlors pleasant on Sunday night
Chorus
E
Ida Red, Ida Red,
B7 E
Im a plumb fool bout Ida Red
Lamp on the table, picture on the wall,
B7 E
Theres a pretty sofa and thats not all,
If Im not mistaken and Im sure Im right,
B7 E
Theys somebody else in the parlor to- night.
Chorus
Chicken in the bread bin peckin out dough,
B7 E
Granny will ya dog bite? No, chile, no.
Hurry up boys and dont fool around,
B7 E
Grab your partner and truck on down.
Chorus
Lights aburnin dim, fires agettin low,
B7 E
Somebody says its time to go.
I hear the whisper, gentle and light,
B7 E
Dont forget to come next Sunday night.
Chorus
My ol Missus swore to me,
B7 E
When she died shed set me free.
She lived so long her head got bald,
B7 E
She took a notion not to die at all.
